Product details
Overview
VLMS2000-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a super red low-current MiniLED SMD device in a 2.3 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.4 mm white package, rated for 2 mA forward current, 630 nm dominant wavelength, and 4.5 mcd typical luminous intensity at 2 mA. It serves as an indicator or backlighting element in automotive dashboards, industrial controls, and compact consumer interfaces where low power, high reliability, and AEC-Q101 qualification are required.
For engineers reviewing the VLMS2000-GS08 datasheet, VLMS2000-GS08 pinout, VLMS2000-GS08 application, or VLMS2000-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±60° viewing angle, 1.8–2.2 V forward voltage range at 2 mA, 2 kV ESD withstand rating, AEC-Q101 qualification, and compatibility with IR reflow per J-STD-020.
Technical Context
The VLMS2000-GS08 uses AllnGaP-on-GaAs technology to deliver stable super red emission at low drive current. Its non-diffused lens enables efficient coupling to light pipes and backlighting structures, while its 580 K/W thermal resistance (mounted on >5 mm² pad) supports operation up to +100 °C ambient.
Designed for arduous environments, it meets JEDEC Level 2a preconditioning and features luminous intensity binning (Group G: 2.24–2.8 mcd) with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6 per reel, ensuring consistent brightness across production units.

Use Value: ±60° viewing angle ensures visibility across wide desk-level viewing angles without requiring lens alignment. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED indicator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMS20H2K1-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity (3.55–9 mcd at 2 mA), same package and electrical specs | Better suited for applications requiring higher brightness in ambient-lit environments | Select when >4.5 mcd typical output is needed without changing layout or drive circuit |
| VLMY2000-GS08 | Yellow emission (581–594 nm dominant), identical package, forward voltage, and thermal specs | Used where color differentiation is critical (e.g., warning vs. status), not spectral match | Choose for color-coded UI schemes; not a spectral substitute for red indication |
Compared with VLMS2000-GS08, VLMS20H2K1-GS08 offers higher brightness within the same footprint and drive conditions, while VLMY2000-GS08 provides a spectrally distinct yellow option-neither is pin-compatible in function but both share identical mechanical and thermal behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for VLMS2000-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMS2000-GS08 is 15 mA at ambient temperatures ≤100 °C. However, its rated operating condition is 2 mA, where luminous intensity and forward voltage are specified. Continuous operation above 2 mA increases junction temperature and may reduce lifetime or shift chromaticity; design margin should be maintained per Vishay's derating curves.
Is VLMS2000-GS08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, VLMS2000-GS08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from -40 °C to +100 °C ambient temperature. Its construction, preconditioning (JEDEC Level 2a), and 2 kV HBM ESD rating meet automotive component requirements for dashboard backlighting and switch illumination, provided PCB layout follows Vishay's recommended pad dimensions and thermal relief guidelines.
What does the "GS08" suffix indicate in VLMS2000-GS08?
The "GS08" suffix denotes a 3000-piece 8 mm tape-and-reel packaging format compliant with EIA-481 standards. It specifies carrier tape width, sprocket hole pitch, pocket depth, and cover tape peel strength (0.1–1.3 N), enabling compatibility with standard high-speed SMT placement equipment used in volume manufacturing.
Can VLMS2000-GS08 be used with pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming?
Yes, VLMS2000-GS08 supports PWM dimming due to its fast response time and low junction capacitance (15 pF). For stable operation, use pulse widths ≥25 ms (per Vishay test conditions) and ensure peak forward current remains within the 15 mA absolute maximum. Thermal management is critical at high duty cycles to avoid exceeding Tj = +125 °C.
What is the luminous intensity binning for VLMS2000-GS08?
VLMS2000-GS08 is categorized in Luminous Intensity Group G (2.24–2.8 mcd at 2 mA), per Vishay's classification table. Each reel contains only one intensity group, with IVmax/IVmin ≤ 1.6, ensuring uniform brightness across all units on a given reel-critical for consistent appearance in multi-LED arrays or backlight zones.
